ClawCode is an open-source, terminal-native AI coding platform designed to support creative software development and intelligent R&D workflows. It serves as a multi-agent collaboration environment that integrates AI-driven coding, project management, task automation, and knowledge management within a unified command-line interface. The platform is built for developers, R&D teams, and professionals seeking to enhance productivity through advanced AI capabilities, persistent memory, and a collaborative engineering ecosystem.
ClawCode distinguishes itself with support for over 200 AI models, including direct integration with Anthropic Claude models (claude-opus, claude-sonnet-4, claude-haiku), as well as compatibility with OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, and Ollama via an OpenAI-compatible API layer. Its architecture features a seven-layer design, encompassing a TUI/CLI interface, agent orchestration, reasoning and acting loops, an extensive tool system with 44+ built-in tools, a multi-model provider abstraction, a self-evolving learning system, and persistent data and plugin management. The system enables zero-context switching, persistent sessions, and experience capsules (ECAP/TECAP) that encapsulate and evolve task and collaboration knowledge for continuous learning and workflow improvement.
The toolset covers a broad range of development tasks, including file and code operations, terminal execution, browser automation, web search, and database migration. DeepNote, ClawCode's structured knowledge engine, provides a persistent Markdown-based knowledge base, semantic search, and knowledge graph capabilities, supporting interoperability with platforms like Obsidian, Notion, and Logseq. The platform also includes a plugin system and skill marketplace for custom extension, and supports multiple development modes—interactive, deep loop automation, team collaboration, and open protocol workflows.
ClawCode's virtual R&D team feature allows users to simulate a professional engineering team with specialized roles such as product manager, architect, developers, QA, SRE, DevOps, and designers, orchestrating full software development lifecycles from a single command. 0 license, and is available as open-source software. Its plugin architecture, persistent SQLite storage, and compatibility with Claude Code configurations and skills enable seamless migration and workflow integration for users already leveraging Claude Code environments.
ClawCode is a Coding AI & assistants project. It focuses on automating and enhancing software development with AI-powered coding agents in the terminal. It is built as an open-source project for developers and R&D teams. The project is open source (GPL-3.0). ClawCode is available on the web, the command line, and API, and it can be self-hosted.
DeepElementLab builds and maintains ClawCode, and it first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 159 stars and 134 commits in the last 90 days. Among its 6 catalogued features are terminal-native, AI coding agent, and multi-model support. It exposes integrations via a public API.
